Country is a style transferred to the interiors of city apartments from rural houses. It encapsulates the life experience of many generations, the culture and traditions of different nations, and original paintings complemented by suitable frames.
Originally, “country” referred to a musical movement and the lifestyle of the American countryside. Over time, the meaning expanded, and a style emerged that spread to interiors. It conquered England, Germany, and eventually reached Ukraine.
Ethnic and geographical differences between rural areas of different countries can be united by common features: natural simplicity filled with harmony.
Materials used in interior design include natural wood, ceramics, and fabrics. Essential decorative elements are handmade items with a nostalgic touch, reminiscent of a grandmother’s chest: embroidered towels, patchwork blankets, lace curtains, knitted throws, and runners.
The color scheme is dictated by nature itself; shades can be either bright and saturated or muted and quiet.
The main character of the interior can be a family photograph in an “aged” frame, which takes you to another era. A poster with a cowboy in a shabby frame brings to mind an American village. Artistic ceramics depicting Ukrainian cities in simple wooden frames with a matte warm texture can remind you of recent travels around Ukraine.
Country style does not have strictly defined laws; it contains eclectic notes. It is for people who want to plunge into enveloping comfort and a warm atmosphere after a hard day’s work and the bustle of the city. By changing just a few thematic paintings with matching frames, you can “travel” to different countries and dimensions in your imagination or memories.
